WHY:Breaking up with Kyle Van Noy is hard. Van Noy has been my guy at #27 since the Senior Bowl. But I keep circling back to Martin. The Saints biggest need is interior offensive line. While I like Tim Lelito, I like him spending one more year as a backup and then taking over for Ben Grubbs in 2015. Lelito as the Saints starting center in 2014 seems like a bit of a reach to me. Martin was sensational at USC, and for those saying it's hard for a rookie to come into the NFL and start immediately -- realize Martin arrived on campus at USC as a 17-year-old prep All-American and was starting for the Trojans immediately. The Saints have had 45 total first round selection and they've never drafted a center with one of those picks.

WHY: Richburg is out because I have the Saints selecting USC center marcus martin in the first round. Jean-Baptiste may not get to the Saints at #58 but if he does I think he's their guy. A big, physical corner who could push veteran Champ Bailey for a starting job and learn from the future Hall of Famer, Jean-Baptiste would be a great fit in New Orleans.

WHY: While I like Desir, he's out now because I have the Saints selecting Jean-Baptiste in the second round. I had Tripp coming to New Orleans as a third round selection in my first few mock drafts. I then removed him in versions 3.0 and 4.0. Tripp is back. Tripp impressed me at the Senior Bowl and I think he's a guy who's going to be a productive player for a long time. Versatile enough to play inside or outside Tripp should be able to play in certain packages immediately in Rob Ryan's exotic defense.

WHY: Sam reminds me of Junior Galette. Sam and Galette are the same height and weight and both use a great bull-rush to get to opposing quarterbacks. Most believe Sam is a better fit in a 4-3 defense, but I disagree. Like Galette, Sam would be undersized as a defensive end in a 4-3 defense. Rob Ryan could use Sam as a situational rusher to do what he does best, get to the quarterback.
